Lokomotiv 3 - 2 Psychedelico (381665169)

37897 spectators had come to Tonio Cartonio Arena this cloudy day. Guy Wisselink was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Louis Liberge and Sansón Caravantes. Lokomotiv started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Castellini - Rococco, Vera, Yeng Kuan - Salmivuori, Passiatore, Bickel, Pompeyo, Colomera - Negrin, Micherda.

Psychedelico had chosen a strategic 2-5-3 formation. The following players had been chosen: Waheed - Giuliano, Sochivorn - Farnè, Mazzara, Biasin, Barbato, Montero - McCarthy, Sciacca, McCarthy.

Psychedelico took the lead 5 minutes into the game, making the score 0 - 1 after some elegant movement down the middle. G. Farnè was the scorer. Some fine movement on the left led to a Psychedelico goal after 20 minutes, making it 0 - 2. M. Sciacca was noted down as the scorer. G. Rococco of Lokomotiv was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. Lokomotiv's fans were urging them forward as they tried to get back into the game, and their vocal support was rewarded 33 minutes into the match as H. Salmivuori ran onto a beautiful ball played through the visitors' defence and slotted it past the keeper to reduce the deficit. 1 - 2. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave B. Passiatore from Lokomotiv a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 38 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! G. Farnè fired a shot from distance after 39 minutes, but the long shot couldn't find the net for Psychedelico. 1 - 2 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Psychedelico, with 57 percent of the ball.

D. McCarthy was, after 49 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but the home side's keeper M. Castellini made the save. After 55 minutes, Lokomotiv switched C. Pompeyo with P. Cossettini, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. M. Sciacca could have put his team up another goal 58 minutes into the game, after a rush down the left, but his closing shot hit the post. After 78 minutes, Q. Colomera made a dash down the middle past the away team's defenders to score the goal that made it 2 - 2. 83 minutes had elapsed when a great chance for Lokomotiv to take the lead after a good cross from the right found P. Cossettini alone with the keeper, but he chipped it to the wrong side of the post. With 84 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 3 - 2 lead as Q. Colomera flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. Psychedelico had most of the ball, with 55 percent of possession.

The most dominating Lokomotiv player was without a doubt W. Micherda. M. Castellini was a disappointment, however. Most important Psychedelico player was M. Sciacca. G. Farnè turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 3 - 2.
